*300 MIRACLES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ*
Number 107.
*Bahira the Monk recognized the Messenger of Allah's Prophethood early in his childhood.*
• This is the famous story of the well-known monk Bahira. At a young age, the Messenger of Allah travelled towards Damascus with his uncle Abu Talib and some of the Quraysh, for the purpose of trade. They rested when they approached the church of Bahira the Monk. Bahira, who was a hermit and lived in complete seclusion, suddenly came out of his monastery. He saw the beloved Messenger of Allah and said, “He is the Master of the World; he will be a Prophet.” The Quraysh asked, “How do you know?” The monk replied: “I saw a small cloud over the caravan as you were coming. When you sat down, the cloud moved towards him and cast its shadow over him. I also saw trees and rocks prostrate themselves before him; this they do only before Prophets.” [Qadi Iyaad's al-Shifa]
